Summary

A curvilinear bank, possibly a field boundary of medieval to 19th century date, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs of the 1940s and 1950s and as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 to 2017.

South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.

The visible cropmarks and earthworks correspond with a boundary depicted on the Tithe map for Bishopsteignton.

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

The visible cropmarks and earthworks do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the OS 1880s First Edition 25inch map.

A cropmark of a bank is visible.

A bank is visible as an earthwork.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2018-2019, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 1, Haldon Ridge to Dart Valley (AI&M) (Interpretation). SDV361305.

A curvilinear cropmark of a bank circa 5m wide and 1700m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and 1951. The cropmarks correspond with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Bishopsteignton but not the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map. The cropmarks are interpreted as evidence of a field boundary of probable medieval origin that was removed by circa 1880. The bank remains visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
